ROCHESTER,, May 21st.-After dinner at
WatertowD, at the request Of Bishop Lynch,
Mr. O'Brien was conducted to the hotel
parlor, where an address was presented to
him. He replied, thanking his auditors
for the sympathy which they, in common
with the rest of the American people, had
always shown to Ireland, and referred to
the severe injuries which he had received
in the mobbings he had undergone in Can
ada. He was evidently completely worn
out, and could hardly speak. When the
party got on the sleeping-car bound for
Niagara Falls Mr.. O'Brien tainted away
on his bed, from pure exhaustion. DIR.
Gregory Doyle of Watertown, who exam
ined Mr. 0 Brien, says he is suffering from
severe internal injuries caused by the at
tack of the infuriated Orangemen at King
ston. His body is bruised and battered in
several places, and there is q touch of in
fiammation of the lungs appearing, a
serious attack of pleurisy will be the out
come, the doctors say, if the honorable
member from Northeast Cork does not rest
for few days at Niagara Falls. The meet
ing arranged for at Hamilton, O'Brien
thinks, in Difference to the doctors opinion
will have TO be postponed for some days
though as yet this decision is not final.

From Buffalo there came Father Patrick

Times, and Jas. Mooney. ex-President of the
Irish National League of America. Many
visitors from Hamilton and other points
headed by several well-known citizens and
clergymen, called upon Mr.. o Brien, who
remained in his room all day. O'Brien
said to the correspondents that, although
he was greatly exhausted and scarcely able
to speak above his breath, he was deter
mined upon going to Hamilton tO-mor-
row. His friends are alarmed at this
decision, not because of their fear of an
otner alldCk tHeTe-dltnOugn Sucn an
attack is considered exceedingly probable
but because the mere journey itself, and
the effort of making another speech, are
likely to oVerpower him and imperil mis-
life.
oDYGUARD FROM THIS SIDE.
1t is said by some of his enthusiasts here
that strong body-guard of stalwart men
will be organized in Buffalo, and will ac-
company him. Mr. O'Brien. however does
not approve Of this, as he does not think
there will be any need for such step His
friends have positive opinion to the con-
trary, but they will do nothing without mis-
sanction.
He goes from Hamilton 10 Montreal,
where an open air meeting will be held,
and torchlight procession organized to
escort him through the principal streets Of
the city.
